OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

HOORAY Sk8erkidsmom!!!! This is so awesome!! BTW, we are from San Antonio also!! We are driving and have made it a road trip. So we have been stopping at different national parks along the way.
Jeffsmom, my son is a nuke also. We are also planning on going to Sarge's M&G so we'll see y'all there. We are staying at the Residence Inn.
He called us a couple times yesterday while we were in the car so it was really nice. We put him on speaker and we were all able to talk to him. We talked for over an hour!!! It was awesome.
I can hardly wait. I am so excited every time I think of seeing him on Friday, I get a lump in my throat.
